BPD MONTHLY E-TIP: HOLIDAY SHOPPING
The holiday season has arrived!
November and December are the busiest months for retailers. Although holidays are seen as a time for giving, criminals view the holiday season as a time for taking. Shoppers can be vulnerable to crimes such as, theft, robbery, and assault. Follow these tips to decrease your chances of becoming a victim:
Be alert and aware of your surroundings at all times. Knowing who and what is around you can help you avoid being surprised. It also allows you time to react if something appears suspicious.
Display confidence. Criminals choose the victim who looks like the easiest target. If you walk with purpose, scan the area around you, and make casual eye contact with others, you are displaying confidence.
Trust your instincts. Your body will tell you when someone or something is suspicious. If you have an intuitive feeling something is wrong, do not second-guess yourself.
Carry only what you need. Extra cash, credit cards, checks, jewelry and other items should be left at home. If you must carry a purse, keep it small, in front, and close to your body. Men should keep wallets in their front pockets to avoid pick-pocketing. Never leave your purse or wallet in a shopping cart.
Shop with others. The chance of being victimized drops dramatically when you are with at least one other person. Use the buddy system!
Be prepared. Have your keys in hand when walking to your vehicle. The keys can be used to defend yourself and you will not waste time trying to find them when standing outside of your vehicle. Carry a whistle to alert those around you something is wrong.
Plan ahead while parking. Park in well-lit areas close to store entrances. Keep all doors and windows closed, as well as, your vehicle locked. Do not leave valuables visible in your vehicle! If you must return to your car while shopping, put your bags in the trunk and move your car to a different location…criminals will be watching.

Fall is here, and the holiday season is upon us! Many children rejoice this time of year as they dress up in Halloween costumes and collect candy. As you may know, Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, wearing costumes, visiting haunted attractions, costume parties, carving jack-o-lanterns and reading scary stories. While the practice of trick-or-treating can be fun and enjoyable for children, it also represents certain hazards and risks. We recommend the following tips to make your Halloween a safe one:
•Eye holes in children’s costumes should be large enough for good peripheral vision.
•Add reflective tape or striping to costumes and/or trick-or-treat bags for greater visibility.
•Realistic replica firearms should never be used.
•All children and their escorts should have flashlights with fresh batteries.
•Place name, emergency identification and address on the costume and/or on a bracelet.
•A parent or responsible adult should always accompany young children when they are trick-or-treating.
•Children should trick-or-treat in a group, preferably with a responsible adult.
•Advise children they should never enter a stranger’s home.
•Children trick-or-treating should obey all traffic and pedestrian regulations.
•Children should only trick-or-treat in well-known neighborhoods at homes that have a porch light on.
•Children trick-or-treating should have specific time limits.
•Instruct children not to eat any treats or candy until it has been brought home and inspected.

DIVISION COMMANDER COMMENDATION
by Captain Mike Hale
On September 24, 2018 at 6:00 pm, the Bakersfield Police Department received a call for service in the 1700 block of Duke Drive for a 2 ½ year old juvenile who had fallen into a swimming pool. The call was initially handled by Bakersfield Police Department Communications Center Supervisor, Doretha Wyatt and transferred to the Bakersfield Fire Department for medical aid response. Dispatcher Rajonda Brandon coordinated medical aid response with Bakersfield Fire Department, while Dispatcher Karla Ko handled dispatching officers to the call.
Within a minute of the call being broadcast via police radio, Police Officers John Ryan, Nicole Madsen, and Zachary Burdick placed themselves enroute due to their proximity to the call for service. Prior to officers’ arriving on scene officers learned, “the juvenile is turning blue.”
Units arrived close to the same time and rushed to the backyard of the residence, where Officers Ryan and Burdick grabbed the child from the mother, while Officer Madsen had to tend to a loose pit bull in the yard that was attempting to bite the officers. Officers Ryan and Burdick provided life saving measures, which assisted the child in regaining consciousness.
Due to the sustained life saving measures by the officers, the juvenile spit up a large amount of water and began regaining color along with normal breathing. Medical aid arrived on scene and transported the juvenile to a local hospital.
If not for the quick action of the dispatchers and officers, the juvenile’s condition could have been much worse and may have resulted in the loss of life.
Officers Ryan, Burdick, Madsen, Communication Center Supervisor Doretha Wyatt, and Dispatchers Rajonda Brandon, and Karla Ko are commended for their quick action and ability to maintain their composure under duress.

Brayden is a local boy who has been waiting for a heart transplant. He finally received one this week! His surgery went well, and we hope his healing continues. We heard Brayden's school was wearing red today in his honor, so we decided to join in, and also placed hearts with "B"s in our lobby for him. We're thinking about you Brayden! You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Happy heart healing ❤️

We invite you to come on out to the Kern County Fairgrounds Thursday, October 11, 2018 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. for hot dogs and dessert. You have a chance to learn about your water system and see if you qualify for low-income rate assistance. You’ll also be entered to win a high-efficiency clothes washer.
Along with BPD and Bakersfield Fire, a couple of special guests will be in attendance. Autumn and Midnight are both wire haired Terrier mix puppies, about 5 months old and both are available for adoption. They will grow up to be medium sized dogs. Both females are spayed, vaccinated, micro-chipped, and ready to go to their forever home. If you need a partner to play fetch with, these are you girls!

We had a great time today chatting with community members while enjoying a cup of coffee and a delicious pastry. Lt. Hilliard and Sgt. Pacheco are both assigned to the Central Zone and were out and about, meeting and greeting. We had officers, a dispatcher, and a record's clerk on hand to answer questions as well. Let's not forget Officer Watkin who served at the drive-through window (having too much fun). We also had probation officers join us in the festivities. A big thank you to Starbucks for hosting our event. Starbucks

In addition, a final determination for this collision will be made once all the evidence has been collected, and investigative reports have been completed and reviewed.
